University of Toronto and Maurice Tomlinson

Maurice Tomlinson: Tomlinsons transnational activism from fundraising for a youth shelter in Jamaica to teaching at about gay rights in the Caribbean epitomizes a shift in the equal rights movement as the world becomes more connected through migration, according to The Star. Toronto is such a cosmopolitan city with all these diaspora communities from around the world. It just makes total sense for the city to become a home for advocacy for these issues around the world, said University of Toronto law professor Brenda Cossman and Maurice Tomlinson often leaves a safe and comfortable life in Canada for the Caribbean, to be a voice for his queer brothers and sisters. Tomlinson believes Toronto, with its freedoms and an community composed of people from around the world, is poised to become a hub for international organizing. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
